アイルランドを車で旅をしながら
よく聴いた[A WOMAN'S HEART]のアルバム。
アイリッシュの女性シンガーが歌う曲ばかりを集めたもので
なかなかよかった。
なかでも特に
〈Where Have All the Flowers Gone〉は
美しい花々が咲き乱れる
アイルランドの岬や広場や小路を眺めていると
切なくなるものがあった。
When will they ever learn?
when will they ever learn?
ほんとうにいつになったら
わかるのだろうねとつくづく思う。
55年以上歌い継がれてきたけれど
世界は相変わらずで
なんだか悲しくなる。
Dolores Keane - Where Have All The Flowers Gone - w. Tommy Sands
WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWERS GONE
words and music by Pete Seeger
performed by Tommy Sands w. Dolores Keane/ Vedran Smailović(cello)
Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the flowers gone?
Girls have picked them every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?
Where have all the young girls gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the young girls gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the young girls gone?
Taken husbands every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?
Where have all the young men gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the young men gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the young men gone?
Gone for soldiers every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Gone to graveyards every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the graveyards gone?
Covered with flowers every one
When will we ever learn?
When will we ever learn?
